Optimum Procurement Jobs in Ohio (NOW HIRING)

Procurement Analyst

Position Type: Full-Time

Job Overview

We are seeking a data-driven, resourceful, and collaborative Procurement Analyst to join our finance team. Reporting directly to the Controller, you will play a pivotal role in optimizing our company’s spend.

This is a highly active, hands-on role that goes beyond typical strategic analysis. You will work side-by-side with our Regional Directors of Operations (RDOs) and individual facilities as a supportive peer, not an enforcement officer. Rather than acting as a "policeman" or demanding top-down compliance, your success will rely on building strong, collaborative partnerships. You will actively review incoming requests, research cost-efficient alternatives, place orders directly, and educate team members to ensure everyone understands and benefits from the procurement process.

Key Responsibilities

Collaborative Facility Sourcing & Support

• Peer-to-Peer Partnership: Act as a dedicated procurement resource for RDOs and facility leaders, working collaboratively to understand their operational needs and constraints.
• Process Education: Guide and support facility staff through the purchasing workflow, ensuring they understand the "why" behind the process rather than enforcing rigid rules from afar.
• Hands-On Ordering: Take ownership of the daily purchasing queue—physically sourcing, vetting, and purchasing supplies, equipment, and services for the facilities.
• Alternative Sourcing Research: Actively hunt for identical or comparable goods at better price points across wholesale markets and alternative vendors, presenting options to teams as a helpful money-saving resource.

Cost Optimization & Vendor Management

• Negotiation: Partner with vendors to secure better pricing, volume discounts, and favorable terms to benefit the facilities' localized budgets.
• Supplier Feedback Loop: Solicit feedback from facility teams regarding vendor performance (delivery speed, product quality) to maintain an accurate, reliable preferred-vendor network.

Metrics, Analytics & Financial Reporting

• Savings Tracking: Develop and maintain procurement KPIs to track realized savings, differentiating between Hard Savings and Cost Avoidance.
• Visibility for RDOs & Controller: Provide regular, clear financial dashboards to the Controller and RDOs, demonstrating how collaborative purchasing directly improves facility-level profitability.
• Reconciliation: Collaborate with the accounting team to ensure purchase orders perfectly match invoices and receipts for smooth month-end closing.

Qualifications

• Experience: 2–4 years of experience in procurement, purchasing, facility supply chain, or a related operational/financial role.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, or equivalent practical experience.
• Technical Skills:
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (VLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables, data modeling).
• Experience with ERP or procurement software is highly preferred
